Subject: [Met-jobs] PhD at Leicester University: Pollution footprint
of a Chinese megacity
Message-ID:

We have a fully-funded PhD studentship available (if you are a UK citizen or an EU citizen that has lived in the UK for the past 3 years), based at the University of Leicester:
"Pollution footprint of a Chinese Megacity"
This project will track and model sources of pollution using trajectory analysis to understand air flow and airmass origins and the effect of trace gas levels across the city. The PhD is funded by NCAS as part of a wider programme to study air pollution in Beijing and will involve ten universities in the UK in a new field campaign that will provide new and exciting measurement data.
For more details see:
https://www.ncas.ac.uk/index.php/en/education-and-staff-development/390-air-quality-and-human-health-studentships/2552-phd-fleming-leicester-2016
And application here: https://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/chemistry/postgraduate-study/phd-studentships/fleming2016
This is one of 12 NCAS-coordinated NERC studentships in air quality and atmospheric chemistry and physics distributed across UK universities. The studentships span the fundamentals of atmospheric pollution, megacity air quality, boundary-layer atmospheric physics, technology and informatics. NCAS will manage and deliver a complementary programme of formal training for this cohort of students, including new short course provision and use of existing NCAS summer schools and training courses.
The closing date was Friday 3 June, but will be extended; if interested please email Zoe Fleming (zf5@leicester.ac.uk<mailto:zf5@leicester.ac.uk>) ASAP

Subject: [Met-jobs] Two open positions in the Theoretical Meteorology
Group at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich
Message-ID: <574FE8DC.9000502@physik.uni-muenchen.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
We invite applications for**two positions at the
*Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU)* in Munich, Faculty of Physics,
Chair of Theoretical Meteorology:
*- Scientific Assistant (Akademischer Rat auf Zeit)*
*- Post-doctoral researcher in Satellite Data Assimilation*
to be filled as soon as possible.
*The Theoretical Meteorology Group*at LMU
(_www.en.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de
<http://www.en.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de/>_) is a leading group in
the basic science underpinning the prediction of weather. Activities
include leading the collaborative research centre Waves to Weather
(_www.wavestoweather.de <http://www.wavestoweather.de/>_), one of the
largest research programs in the world devoted to the predictability of
high impact weather, and hosting the Data Assimilation Branch of the
Hans Ertel Centre for Weather Research (HErZ,
_www.meteorologie.lmu.de/herz <http://www.meteorologie.lmu.de/herz>_), a
joint program with Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). Our core competence is
in nonlinear dynamics, methods from statistical physics, data
assimilation and probabilistic prediction using ensembles of numerical
simulations.
As one of Europe's leading research universities,
*Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität****(LMU)*in Munich is committed to the
highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching.
Building on its more than 500-year-long tradition, it offers a broad
spectrum that covers all areas of knowledge within its 18 Faculties,
ranging from the humanities, law, economics and social sciences, to
medicine and the natural sciences.
*For both positions,*applicants must hold a PhD in physics, meteorology
or another relevant discipline, and have good written and spoken English
(knowledge of German is welcome but not required).
The *Scientific Assistant*position is equivalent to a (non-tenure track)
Assistant Professor, and is suitable for an excellent young scientist
looking to advance his or her career to the next level. In cooperation
with the group leader, Prof. George Craig, she or he will be encouraged
to develop an independent research program within the general field of
activities of the group, and participate in teaching and supervision at
the BSc, MSc, and doctoral levels. The initial appointment (Akademischer
Rat auf Zeit, A13) is for three years, with thepossibility of extension
for another three years. For further information please contact Prof.
George Craig (_george.craig@lmu.de <mailto:george.craig@lmu.de>_).
The *post-doctoral position*addresses a central problem of numerical
weather prediction, the assimilation of temporally frequent and
spatially dense observations, particularly observations related to
atmospheric convection. Cloud-affected radiances from geostationary
satellites offer a promising data source for this purpose, but their
assimilation is challenging given the fast evolution of convection and
its inherent non-linearity. The goal of this position is to facilitate
the assimilation of cloud-affected radiances from infrared channels of
MSG-SEVIRI in the pre-operational ensemble data assimilation system for
the regional forecast model COSMO-DE. The work can build upon
preparatory studies on radiance assimilation performed in the HErZ group
and shall be performed in close collaboration with DWD. The post-doc
will be part of the HErZ group at LMU, which currently comprises ten
people working on various aspects of regional data assimilation and
ensemble forecasting. The appointment is for two years, but may be
extended if funding is available. Experience in data assimilation would
be preferable, but is not an essential requirement. For further
information please contact Dr. Martin Weissmann
(_martin.weissmann@lmu.de <mailto:martin.weissmann@lmu.de>_).
LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer and intends to enhance the
diversity of its staff. Applications from female candidates are strongly
encouraged. Disabled candidates with essentially equal qualifications
will be given preference.
Please submit your application by email as a single PDF-file including a
letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, and list of publications, to Dr.
Audine Laurian, (_audine.laurian@lmu.de <mailto:audine.laurian@lmu.de>_)
by *30 June 2016*.

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, a multidisciplinary center for climate and Earth system research located in Hamburg, Germany, invites applications for a
Post-Doctorate in Geophysical Turbulence (f/m; MPIM-W025)
The applicant will be part of the Max Planck Research Group "Turbulence Mixing Processes in the Earth System". The aim of our research is to advance our understanding and parametrization of small-scale turbulence in the planetary boundary layer and its coupling to large-scale dynamics. We are seeking one post-doc to further develop his/her career along these lines.
Responsibilities
Specific topics we are currently working on are cloud entrainment, shear effects in unstable boundary layers, statistical properties of moisture fields, and the role of large-scale coherent structures near the surface and near the entrainment zone, thought research need not be restricted to these topics.
Qualifications / experience
The applicant is expected to have a PhD in natural sciences or engineering sciences. A basic knowledge of turbulence (fundamental research and/or modeling), geophysical flows and numerical simulations is required. Experience in atmospheric or ocean turbulence is of advantage. Good skills in programming and computer science will be regarded very favourably, since the applicant will work with large-scale computing systems (unix or GNU/linux OS, parallel computing). The working language is English.
Selection criteria
The selection criteria will value the qualifications, and the experience of the candidates with respect to the text above.
Employment conditions
The positions are initially offered for one year, with the possibility of an extension to three years, starting on November 2016.
Payment will be in accordance with German public service positions (up to TVoeD E14), including extensive social security plans. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration, follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service.
Selection process
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology seeks to increase the number of female scientist and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
